I dont know J4..

It s 1:30 in the morning here. My Mother f$%in blood pressure is pushing 400.
Mother F#$%in drug dealers want too use my back country road for their drug deals.
I usually grab old faithful off the wall and dump 30 over their heads.
They dont come back for a long time.
Grabbed shorty by mistake. One round. So I went out and started beating on their Mother F#$ing car.
Anyway they left Dodge in a hurry.
I think I will send this upper out too you. I will pay what ever you have too do too fix the damn thing.
These mother Fu#$kers scum want a war. I'll show them a F$%king war. I need all here too work.
P.M coming after the sun rises.

Wrong tool for the job 4th. Ya should grabbed your shorty AK and bump fired off 75 from a drum, yelling and cursing in Vietnamese. Put the fear of the Swamp Cong in them!

I dont give a flying, if they want too do that crap. Just dont do it around my damn house. Good news is I whipped the damn shorty at their car, after it jammed. Now it is working again. Hell I gotta thank them.
Sorry. Back on track.
I dont think this problem is the upper?
When I bought the receiver. I got the internals at the same place. The damn hammer spring is so weak I put in one round and it would not even hit the firing pin hard enough too fire. Junk internals.
So I grabbed the Rock River lower. Put in a P mag. Did a mix and match on ammo. Bingo. Now it is working.
So I still really dont know which, or all, was the problem?
The Rock River hammer spring, has twice the power of the junk internals I bought.
I will test again tomorrow and see.
j4. Thank you for your P.M.s and advice.

Hey 4th, call Wolff and get a stronger spring. Call them at 800-545-0077. I've got their springs in my 7.63x39 AR's for shootin Russian ammo and they work great. Also have their springs in a couple Mausers and a couple of my .45's.

Thank You BBill.

Will call. These damn weak ass springs I have, barley send the hammer forward. Junk.
The ones in the Rock River will take your finger off.

Brad. I have one of those. Its sitting in Pirates safe. Im waiting for the damn tax stamp too come in.
The ATF probably read my posts on this and other sites. Probably sent the damn stamp too Tibet.

glad you found the problem. one of the good things about the Ar platform is you can swap things around. if you got one that runs it makes it easy to process of elimination trouble shoot the trouble prone part by just swapping stuff.

glad you didn't have to send the upper over as i would have put it on my pistol lower and it would have worked fine and left me scratching my head--LOL

yea wolf makes the best hammer springs.

i put the wolf extra power in my 7.62x39 and 5.45x39 builds due to their sometimes hard and deep primers.

the good this is the wolf springs cost a whole "double" what a regular spring do--a whopping $3.00--LOL

Well..

I am still not sure that is the complete problem. But I am slowly narrowing it down.
The C mags would not feed the damn thing.
The P mag fed it, then the hammer would not strike hard enough too fire the round. Click.
The tech from JSE told me too break it in. Fire at least 200 rounds through it too break it in. Then call him back. Nice guy he is, really.
Way things are going. By the time I get 200 rounds through this thing, I told him he would be retired.
Hitting the range today. This thing dont work. I will see if I can break my 120 foot record AK toss.
